    At least the production and/or the weapons. I'd be willing to accept one or the other. But neither shouldn't be an option, and right now we have neither. The notion that they are going to utilize blocking tight ends with reqularity just means even fewer receivers in the pattern. Makes it even easier on the defense. Great pass rushes won't be stopped by a tight end chipping. Your blocking needs to come from your 5 linemen. I think they'll do the same thing they were doing in teh 2nd half of the season though, where they had Olsen and Manumaleuna blocking most of the time, rather than run routes. I think the argument is that if you're gonna do that, that Spaetz is probably the better guy for that than Olsen. arguable. http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/06/16/2010-pass-blocking-efficiency-tight-ends/

    i'm a little amazed we (a team that has to overpay FAs) got a productive 26-year old here for just $3.2M Wright, Houston, Durant and Tulloch is a great start to FA in my book - only disappointment is missing on J. Joseph

    LOL. In that case I can't wait to see Spencer vs. Suh twice this year. AGREED. i am bummed Olin wasn't brought back though, he might have been the worst C in football
  5. sneakypower
    love it when Wood does that

    i despise the reality that we don't even have anybody worth giving a look to at AA or AAA, so that playing Pena and Johnson isn't even the travesty it should be this has been a completely wasted season in every conceivable aspect of development for our organization (including Castro), and our talent throughout has considerably worsened
  7. sneakypower
    so much sex on that play
  8. sneakypower
    Yeah probably until this offseason or next years trade deadline please, do explain
  9. sneakypower
    if it makes you feel better, we just signed a guy fresh off an addiction to video games
  10. sneakypower
    more like Sam Turd
  11. sneakypower
    Rivals' Team Recruiting Rankings looks good to me!

    and the Blue Jays had received Stewart from the Reds in exchange for Rolen, another player TLR had run out of town

    Edwin Jackson >>>>> Trevor Miller Cards win this one
  14. sneakypower
    He always gets his man!! Mrs. Peacock was a man?? Daniel Hudson for Zach Stewart and a meaningless season's-worth of Edwin Jackson - pretty brutal
  15. sneakypower
    the Jays may have a guy the Cards covet a lot more (Thames?) than anything the Sox can offer
  16. sneakypower
    if those goes through, Edwin Jackson will have been traded for Colby Rasmus, Zach Stewart, Daniel Hudson, Matt Joyce, Max Scherzer, and (all-star) Danys Baez

    Or Jeff Francouer when he showed he had no ability to tell a ball from a strike as he put up hilariously bad numbers in the major leagues for 3 seasons. Or Brandon Wood who hasn't hit outside the PCL in 6 years. Francoeur's plate discipline alone doesn't preclude him from being a successful player (look at Kemp, Soriano, Crawford, CarGo, Hart, Pence, ...) and Wood's defense at 3B has been good enough he could still hit his AAA MLE of .293 obp/.416 slg and be an above-average player where are you going with this? my central premise was that these guys were underperforming their potential. Alex Gordon had 0.1 WAR the last two seasons, getting oft-demoted and i was (outwardly) hoping like hell we would heavily pursue him
  18. sneakypower
    the best part of that replay is Proctor's swan dive out of the box
  19. sneakypower
    Patterson compiled 4.7 fWAR and Choi 2.5 (in just 784 PA) in their two seasons after leaving the Cubs; they were both great reclamation candidates, but Choi's concussion problems likely ruined him in the end you also have to disqualify guys who have proven they don't have the requisite tools to succeed: like the DeWitt example, where we had known he couldn't defend at 2B or hit for any power to play 3B, or Clement, where he lost all value being moved off C
  20. sneakypower
    who is this Germano...
  21. sneakypower
    Montanez was "highly rated" back when Alfonso Soriano was a prospect good lord, i did not think it necessary to need to qualify my statement for idiots incapable of using common sense
  22. sneakypower
    this excites me to no end, the guy who is #1 on my FA wish list mortreport Chris Mortensen I say watch out for Lions and Bengals FA CB Jonathan Joseph 1 hour ago
  23. sneakypower
    i'm glad that i can still hate that guy with a fiery passion
  24. sneakypower
    this can't possibly be true. his wOBA was .317 in 2007 and .285 in 2008. his overall wOBA was .327 for those four years (side note: i don't think FG incorporates ROE into their wOBA calculation, which is a mistake)
  25. sneakypower
    i don't much care about losing McNutt if you can get back Ubaldo; same as the Archer/Garza thing also, it doesn't have to be an either/or proposition with Ubaldo & Wilson, especially with the former's team-friendly contract Ubaldo Garza CJ Wilson Zambrano Dempster/Wells and Cashner can replace Marshall in the pen - looks good to me
